The blood mist dissipated.
Colin returned to his seat.
Valla is a third-tier knight. According to Colin's experience of transforming Queen Aisha last time, if she first embraces a blood descendant whose rank is lower than her own, she should not lose her rank.
Quietly feel the changes in the body, except for some weakness, it is true that there is no drop.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Colin poured himself another glass of stag blood wine, and waited for Walla to wake up while drinking.
To be honest, Walra's attitude of willing to die for atonement just now touched Colin a lot.
Facing such a knight who sticks to justice in his heart, Colin felt that he had to change his original plan a little bit.
After a long time, just when Colin had almost conceived a new plan, Valla finally woke up.
"I... I'm not dead?"
Valla sat up straight, looking at the long sword still stuck in her chest, her face was full of bewilderment.
"You are indeed dead." Colin said lightly, "But, I gave you a second life."
Walra stared blankly at Colin. In his eyes, it seemed that Colin's whole body was shrouded in a vast, holy and irresistible radiance at this time, making people unable to help but feel a desire to worship him. impulse.
"Colin... what's going on here?"
"Have you ever heard of the Blood Angels?"
…
After some brainwashing, Knight Valla's attitude towards Colin became extremely respectful.
I saw him slowly pull out the long sword in front of his chest, hold it over his head again, kneel on one knee, and solemnly swear loudly:
"Thank you for the supreme grace bestowed by the chosen one! I, Walla Uman, hereby swear allegiance to you. From this day until I return to the embrace of the Lord, I will always serve you before your seat, your The will is the direction in which I swing my sword, and your order is the creed of my actions!"
Colin took Valla's saber, tapped his shoulder twice, and accepted the other's allegiance.
Based on the opponent's adherence to knightly virtues shown before, Colin felt that this allegiance might be closer and more reliable than the fetters of the vampires.
"Walla, do you know why I want to forgive your sins and give you a second life?"
"Master God Chosen please show me!"
"Because you are just a poor person who has been kept in the dark."
Knight Valla suddenly showed doubts.
Colin continued to explain: "You said that the reason why your mother Penny sent someone to assassinate me was to help you find a family business. Then let me ask you, the relationship between Ms. Penny and you is really so close ?"
"Mother..." Valla Knight really showed hesitation, "Mother is not a person who is good at expressing her emotions."
Ke Lin sneered and said, "Not good at expressing feelings? Do you really think that a mother doesn't know how to show intimacy when facing her own son?"
"Maybe... Maybe she has some resistance to my illegitimate child's identity..."
"Hehe, she is just a commoner herself, so what right does she have to look down on illegitimate children? Even if she really has conflicts with your identity and doesn't want to get close to you, why does she take such a big risk to help you seize the Angelet family family business?"
Walra didn't know what to say now, so she could only say respectfully: "Master Chosen One, please forgive my stupidity, I can't see the reason clearly."
"Actually, the real reason is very simple." Colin exuded a touch of coercion, and his tone became solemn, "Penny is not close to you, just because she was not your biological mother in the first place!"
"What?" Valla raised her head in astonishment, and looked at Colin in disbelief.
"Don't forget, I'm the apostle of Lord Blood Angel. Naturally, I can use my magic to distinguish that you are actually the direct blood of the Uman family, and that Lawrence is actually the illegitimate son of Penny and the count!"
"I... am I the father's legitimate son?" Valla was completely dumbfounded, "Lawrence... is the illegitimate son?"
Colin shook the wine glass in his hand leisurely, and didn't continue talking, but let Valla digest this amazing news.
The reason why he didn't say anything about recessive inheritance was because it was easier to win the trust of a pious knight than the genetic theory that had never been verified in this world, or the unfathomable magic.
Sure enough, Valla fell into a deep struggle because of Colin's words. He didn't dare to question Colin's judgment, but he couldn't understand why he had been treated as an illegitimate son for so many years if he was really Earl Uman's legitimate son
"Are you wondering why you, a legitimate son, will be raised as an illegitimate son?"
"Yes, Lord Chosen One, please explain to me!"
"Because Lawrence is an illegitimate child, but his bloodline is more noble than yours!"
"This...how is this possible?" Valla was even more confused, but then he seemed to understand something, and asked quickly, "You mean, Lawrence's biological mother, Penny, is not really a commoner?"
"That's right, Penny is actually a descendant of the San Theon family, so although Lawrence is an illegitimate child, in the eyes of Earl Uman, he is obviously more noble than you."
"The Santheon family..." Walra finally realized that a descendant of a paladin family is naturally much nobler than him.
Only then did Valla understand why Penny was always indifferent to him, without the intimacy and attention that a normal mother should have.
After understanding the whole story, Knight Valla fell silent.
The expression on his face was constantly changing, the humiliation he had suffered for many years because of his illegitimate child status suddenly rushed to his heart, and finally condensed into a lingering resentment and unwillingness.
The corner of Ke Lin's mouth curled up slightly, and he provocatively said again: "Walla, do you know the cuckoo bird?"
"I know." Valla nodded, looking gloomy, "The cuckoo will lay its eggs in the nest of the sparrow warbler, and let the sparrow warbler raise its offspring for them."
"Then what will happen to Sparrow's own true offspring?"
"The little cuckoos that will be hatched will be squeezed out of the nest, and they will fall to death and starve to death..." Walra's face was so gloomy that it seemed that water could drip.
"Then, Valla, are you willing to watch the title of earl that should belong to you be occupied by Lawrence, making the Uman family a breeding ground for the descendants of the San Theon family?"
"Of course not!"
"There is also the countess who was born in the Su Duo family, that is, your real mother. It is said that she died of an illness. Hehe, do you believe this reason?"
Walra's eyes turned red instantly, and she squeezed out two words through clenched teeth: "I don't believe it!"
"And your father, Earl Uman, I can tell you with certainty that the reason why the trolls were able to defeat the army of Marquis Charles, causing my father to die in the front line and causing you serious injuries, was actually because of him Secretly tip off the trolls!
Moreover, this time, in order to help the Saint Theon family make a comeback, Earl Uman once again chose to betray his lord and his people, all he wanted was to cause chaos in the northern border!
For such a person, are you still willing to continue to be loyal to him and be driven by him? "
"Of course I don't want to!" Varla raised his head with bruised veins in his clenched fists, and asked sincerely, "Master God Chosen, what should I do?"
Hearing this, Colin finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.
